Hull - and others - interested in Fletcher
Middlesbrough manager Tony Pulis has revealed there are a number of clubs interested in signing Ashley Fletcher. The Boro striker played the full 90 minutes and completed the scoring as Boro swept past Peterborough 5-0 to reach the fourth round of the FA Cup. But Fletcher, who was signed by Garry Monk in the summer of 2017, has rarely featured in the Championship this campaign, leading to speculation about his future. Hull appear to be leading to race to sign the 23-yearold but, according to Pulis, others are interested. “I though Fletch played well first half,” said Pulis when asked about the striker. “There were one or two who didn’t play as well first half. Fletch was one of our better players first half so I’m really pleased with him.” When quizzed about the forward’s future, Pulis added: “He’s just played a game for us and hopefully that will give him the confidence to move on. It’s not just Hull, there are one or two other clubs who want to take Fletch as well. Asked if he wanted to keep Fletcher at the club, Pulis said: “We’ll see.”
